2002 Bob Perry Custom 3

Fine wood craftsmanship meets modern styling in this custom 2002 Bob Perry Designed 32' sailboat built locally at Dunbar marine by and for the owner, Roy Dunbar. Wood n Wind has a perfect blend of modern performance and that wood boat feel and smell. Her large open cockpit has room for everyone while day sailing around the sound or racing in the weekend regatta and below she has plenty of space for storage, escaping the elements and taking her out weekending to one of the many secluded coves and islands around the PNW.
Built by the builder for himself, Wood N Wind shows the pride in craftsmanship Roy Dunbar and Dunbar Marine have produced for over 50 years here in the Pacific Northwest. She has newer sails and outboard and is ready to take you on your adventure today.

Sailing continues to adapt to the rapidly changing demographics, technology and social trends of an ever more hectic world.  As our lives become more fast-paced so does the need to escape from the time constraints, pressures and burdens.  "Always on, always connected" is leading the drive to "get away" to a place that can nourish and recharge the soul.  Nowhere is that more evident than the extraordinary growth of adventure travel, providing people a much needed outlet through outdoor, shared experiences with others.
The challenge is trying to align 8-10 people onto the same schedule. This obstacle alone is impacting keelboat racing participation across the board in most areas. Just as technology is making it easier to sail, the over-reliance on crew is making it more complicated.  Two of the positive growth areas in sailing today are one-design class racing in trailerable boats, and short-handed day racing and fun point to point events.   The global success of the new J/70 is a direct result of pent-up demand for an affordable one-design with a pre-planned circuit and easy entry.  The travel and event logistics for four people are infinitely easier than that of 8-10.  For those sailing larger keelboats, it's the charity pursuit races and day distance events like San Francisco's Three Bridge Fiasco that are becoming increasingly popular.  And it's no surprise why.  These events pack a lot of sailing fun and adventure into more acceptable, smaller doses that require less practice and time to manage.
The J/121 is designed with both of these trends in mind.  Imagine a fleet of high- performance, offshore-capable speedsters sprinting along point-to-point, around- the-island, and adventure-style races with half the normal crew size, with owners enjoying a "dream circuit" of events that tie into regional "classic" races that everyone aspires to sail in.
